On the other end of the phone, Ethan suddenly popped into Tiffany’s mind. She didn’t tell the story of their breakup, but her tone became a little bitter. “Yeah… It’ll get better, and we’ll all be fine!”
As soon as Arianne ended the call, she dove right back into the complicated work. The busy morning passed quickly. By lunch break, she thought of a Chinese restaurant nearby that served light food since that was what she felt like having today.
In the Chinese restaurant, she ordered two dishes that she liked and started digging into it. By the time she left, she realized that it was already raining outside. The weather was always unpredictable in this season, just like Mark Tremont...
The rain was pouring and showing no signs of letting up anytime soon. As time passed, she grew aware that she was stranded here. Even if her office wasn’t too far away, she couldn’t possibly reach it. There was an open space that served as a parking lot in front of a Chinese restaurant. Since she wasn’t close to the road, she couldn’t call for a cab.
In the past, she wouldn’t hesitate to run under the rain. But now, she had to worry about the baby in her womb. After all, colds and medicine were taboos in the first three months of pregnancy.
Not long after that, a white Cadillac parked in the open space. She recognized it as Ethan’s car.
Given Ethan’s financial status, there was no way he could own a car like this. So Arianne had a hunch that it might be Tiffany’s doing. The car that was a manifestation of the Lane family’s past glory formed a huge contrast with the decline of the current Lane family. It was a symbol of irony.
Ethan noticed Arianne taking shelter from the rain when he got out of his car. He jogged toward her under the rain, then greeted her warmly like an old friend. “Why are you here?”
His greeting pulled Arianne out of her thoughts, and she replied in slight embarrassment, “It’s raining, so I’m stranded here. Did you come to eat?”
